Designing interfaces to encourage more intensive and effective cognitive processing (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Patrick, J., Morgan, P., Tiley, L., Smy, V., & Seeby, H. (2014, June). Designing interfaces to encourage more intensive and effective cognitive processing. Paper presented at The 16th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, Crete, Greece

Cognitive engineering aims to provide operators with immediate access to as much relevant information as possible. However, this can encourage display-based strategies that do not involve committing information to memory. To overcome this problem, a...

Antimicrobial susceptibility and time-kill analysis of single and combined essential oil blends against clinical and non-clinical isolates of bacteria and fungi (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Adukwu, E., & Edwards-Jones, V. (2014, May). Antimicrobial susceptibility and time-kill analysis of single and combined essential oil blends against clinical and non-clinical isolates of bacteria and fungi. Poster presented at 114th General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology Conference, Boston, Massachusetts

The continued emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria and infection outbreaks in healthcare and community settings has created a need for development of new antibiotics and exploration of alternative therapeutics. Essential oils (EOs) have been id...

Influence of drying-rewetting events on the response of soil microbial functions to biochar (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Bonnett, S., Vink, S., Baker, K., Saghir, M., & Hornung, A. (2014, April). Influence of drying-rewetting events on the response of soil microbial functions to biochar. Poster presented at European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2014, Vienna, Austria

Biochar application has been shown to positively affect soil microbial functions such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing water/nutrient availability and increasing crop yields in tropical regions (Lehmann & Joseph, 2009). Understanding... Read More about Influence of drying-rewetting events on the response of soil microbial functions to biochar.
